The Evolution,Patterns,and Implications of the Internal Joint Appointment System for Faculty in American Universities in the Interdisciplinary Perspective
In the interdisciplinary perspective,numerous universities in America have begun to implement new models for faculty recruitment and evaluation,with the internal joint appointment system for university faculty emerging as a significant initiative to drive interdisciplinary research and education in America's higher education institutions.Originating from the mid-20th century,the internal joint appointment system for university faculty in America has undergone three stages:initial exploration,accelerated development,and gradual maturity,resulting in the formation of three organizational models:"D+D""D+I"and"I+I".This system has been constructed from three dimensions:selection and appointment,support and incentives,and assessment and evaluation.While the internal joint appointment system for university faculty in America has achieved commendable practical results in enhancing talent cultivation quality,promoting high-level interdisciplinary research outcomes,and increasing operational efficiency,challenges such as the lack of specific and effective performance evaluation standards and the need for improved synergy efficiency still exist.Drawing lessons from the beneficial experiences of American universities,it is imperative to refine the internal joint appointment system for university faculty in China,thereby encouraging more outstanding teachers to engage in interdisciplinary research and education activities.
